| Sound quality differences in streamers I’m not saying there are night and day differences between streamers or any components. In my experience, easily discernable differences are hard to ignore. In my opinion, high-end audio is about hearing small differences, that so may of us are wi... | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers You must be directing your comments to someone else. I’ve never said Antipodes was better than any other music server. I always use " preferred" when I compare components. I never used the words "more accurate" either. I’ve never sad anything that... | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers mdalton, Again, value is determined by every individual. If you don't think you need to spend "x" amount for a streamer/server, it's pretty simple...don't. I never said, that you or anyone had to spend a certain amount of money to get to a certa... | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers mdalton, Value is determined by the individual. One can argue that spending X amount for any component is dumb. I say, spend whatever you can easily afford to yield the sound you want! | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers verdantaudio, I'm not a dealer, just an end-user. I've owned several Antipodes Audio music servers. I've compared Antipodes to other music servers and have preferred Antipodes to Aurender, Innuos, and several others. I have the Oladra now and it'... | |
| Antipodes Audio - K22 G4 To my ears, in my system, the Antipodes is fast, dynamic, and musical. It's detailed without a hint of harshness. | |
| Antipodes Audio - K22 G4 I don’t like to recommend any component without listening to it in your system...there are just too many variables. I use a Chord Dave with the Antipodes Oladra Music server. I used a K41/K21 combination prior to Oladra. In my system, I prefer Ant... | |
| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? Yes, I'm done. I will continue to support the hobby by attending some of the Audio shows, but my days of spending money on this hobby are over. | |
| Moving to separates skeptikal, "I don't plan on replacing the Integra any time soon. It's the flagship model, the DRX-8.4. It has Dirac, which works wonders. And it sounds really good." I hear you. My Trinnov is very good as an AV preamp, but not for 2-channel. ... | |
| New Magico Speaker Break-in Question Everyone has different experiences. Personally, if I don't like a component from the beginning, time doesn't change my opinion. | |
| Moving to separates My current system is two channel combined with surround sound via my preamp’s HT bypass. I use a Jeff Rowland Corus preamp for my 2-channel and Trinnov Altitude 16 AV preamp. Out of curiosity I took the Corus out and only used the Trinnov. The sou... | |
| Has it all been worth it? Yes, because I no longer want anything. I understand that there will always be something better than what I have and I'm okay with it. | |
| Why did you purchase the equipment you have and what do you like most about it? calvinj, We have been friends for several years. As far as opinions go, I no longer provide my opinion or recommendations to anyone regarding audio components. There are just too many variables, including the room to know how a component will sou... | |
| Why did you purchase the equipment you have and what do you like most about it? I established a price range at which I'm willing to spend for each component. I've been lucky to be able to listen to components in my room prior to purchase. Finally, I trust my wife's and my own ears. | |
| Do you prefer tall speakers I prefer tall speakers. |
